Sketchbook: Baxter

[Baxter]

Hello all, my name is Erik Dolphin. Figured I'd start off here with the sketchbook section.

Just a little bit about me; I'm a soon to be graduate of AI in Pittsburgh in Game Art and Design. In the process of compiling my portfolio so I decided to throw up some favs here. I consider myself a jack of all, master of none, but i greatly enjoy drawing concept work and textures. I'm looking forward to posting more here on Polycount as time frees up for me.

Welcome to any C&C.

Base on the same character from above. Yes the scales are all hand painted, quite a pain but I chose to do it on the diffuse rather than a normal.

Lower poly aquatic vehicle. I few inefficient sections on the uvs such as the lens, but that was a last minute change in the map mid process :poly132:


There will be more to come as more is completed :)

I LOVE NOSO!
He looks great! C:

[Baxter]

Thanks curry! :D He was pretty fun working on all around, modeling, texturing, animating, I had a blast bringing him to life.

[JGalito]

noso turned out well; i'm impressed how much the model looks like the concept art.

[Baxter]

Thanks JGalito :)

Finally getting back to this thing with some decent updates

Oi! Never render on pure white.

like those weapons and the red dude. MOAR

[Geezus]

AiPittsburghers on my polycounts?! Nevar!

I dig the weapons mainly. Sectaurs is right...never render on pure black or white. It would be neat to see you give your beauty shots the same background treatment you've given your concepts. Your 2D in general is good, I'd ditch the "undead gunslinger" and the vehicle on your professional 'folio, though....they scream unfinished/unpolished/quick.

Tell Styers that Chris says he misses random stories about machine guns and "the country". :]

[Baxter]

Thanks for the crits guys. Yeh, I'm in the process of texture treating/re-rendering all the stuff with the white bgs since I got bashed around on that at pre-port. I am axing the gunslinger and vehicle though, along with a few other things not here mainly just because, like you said, a bit rushed.

I'll have to tell Styers whenever i run into him again Zdana, lol.

[JGalito]

i miss having classes with styers.

[Baxter]

almost done working with this this tomb guardian guy.:)

[JGalito]

the feet are too small. the proportions of the legs to the upper body bother me. i like the clothe, though. the folds are very nice.
